Abstract
The present invention relates to a tubular, seamless, biaxially stretched, smoke-permeable and water vapour-permeable, colouristically neutral and transparent, single-layer food casing formed from a mixture including 50 to 95% by weight of aliphatic (co)polyamide, 3 to 40% by weight of at least one vinyl (co)polymer having units of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone and 1.5 to 7.0% by weight of at least one aliphatic diol and/or aliphatic polyol, based in each case on the weight of the mixture. The diol and/or polyol is homogeneously distributed in a matrix formed by the aliphatic (co)polyamide. The food casing is produced by an extrusion method with biaxial tube stretching and subsequent heat-setting. It is particularly suitable as synthetic sausage casing, especially for raw sausage, such as salami or mettwurst.
